Sample Projects
Aiken Engineering designs and evaluates specialized equipment and components for critical service applications where the consequence of failure is catastrophic or extremely costly.
Engineering Design
Aiken used FEA and other analytical tools to design protective barriers and projectile containment test cells for subsea equipment manufactures. Aiken developed specialized software for this project.
Engineering AnalysisAiken performed a thorough analysis of the operating limits of gin pole trucks. More
Project Management
Aiken designed a large load spreader for an offshore platform; then project managed its fabrication and delivery per client specifications.
Code Compliance and InterpretationAiken conducted an engineering analysis of a subsea connector system to ensure compliance with applicable codes (ASME, API, DNV). More
